Video of Eric Corbin reclaiming his title as Pizza Acrobat World Champion

Eric Corbin is the GM of Tony’s Coal-Fired Pizza & Slice House in North Beach — which, it should be noted, is churning out some excellent slices nowadays. But when he’s not there, he’s moonlighting as a world class pizza acrobat.

Last week, Corbin competed in the World Pizza Games, in the Individual Acrobatic Masters Division. It’s a competition — held in Vegas — that attracts pizza acrobats from all over America, plus Japan, Italy, Sweden and Canada (check out all the competitions, from Fastest Pizza Box Folding to Largest Dough Stretch). For acrobat competition, each contestant is required to perform a “2-5 minute dough tossing routine of acrobatics to music and [is] scored on dexterity, difficulty level, synchronization, variety and creativity/entertainment value. ”

Corbin had previously won the title in 2009, and tied last year. This year, he regained his crown, with a performance set to Elvis. Here’s the video. Bump the volume for the full effect:
